God's 'nothings' are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; The Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God and that alters my view of actual things.

God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses we are in a very elementary condition of grace.

Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God not of the answer.

Every time we pray our horizon is altered, our attitude to things is altered, not sometimes but every time and the amazing thing is that we don't pray more.

We pray pious blether our will is not in it and then we say God does not answer; we never asked Him for anything. Asking means that our wills are in what we ask.

If we rely on the Holy Spirit we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate; and when they are inarticulate reverence grows deeper and deeper.

Prayer is not only asking, it is an attitude of heart that produces an atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural and Jesus says 'every one that asketh receiveth.'

We impoverish God in our minds when we say there must be answers to our prayers on the material plane; the biggest answers to our prayers are in the realm of the unseen.

It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.

One great effect of prayer is that it enables the soul to command the body. By obedience I make my body submissive to my soul but prayer puts my soul in command of my body.

Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying shut the door and talk to God in secret.

Our Lord never referred to unanswered prayer; he taught that prayers are always answered. He ever implied that prayers were answered rightly because of the Heavenly Father's wisdom.

You say 'But He has not answered.' He has He is so near to you that His silence is the answer. His silence is big with terrific meaning that you cannot understand yet but presently you will.
